Waste Minimization Strategies � 13

7. WASTE MINIMIZATION STRATEGIES

The operator (Body Corporate) will be responsible for the education of tenants, staff and general

public in the practices of waste reduction/minimisation to divert waste from landfill. This will be

achieved by the following:

• Document and distribute details of the waste management system that is in place on site to staff

• Encouraging waste separation from staff

• All bins to be labelled and colour coded stating types of waste that can be deposited i.e. paper/cardboard bins, container recycling bins, garbage bins

• Any future change to regulatory requirements or to the developments’ waste generation rates will require the operator to conduct a waste audit and revise the waste management system that is in place accordingly


• • •

Recommendations and Additional Information � 14

8. RECOMMENDATIONS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• Signage and usage labels for the garbage and recycling bins will be provided by the operator

• Transferring waste and shifting bins shall require the minimum possible manual handling. The operator will assess manual handling risks as per regulatory requirements and provide appropriate documentation to the building manager;

• Items unsuitable for disposal via garbage or recycling bins would need to be disposed with the assistance of the building manager; this would include: large, heavy, and liquid waste items.

• The bin area will be secure and vermin proof;

• The bin stores shall be ventilated in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1668.2

• To avoid entrance of vermin: staff shall keep the bin store clean and wash bins at least once a fortnight. In addition to this, the bin store will be constructed of concrete at least 75mm thick. The ceiling of the bin store will be finished with a rigid smooth faced non-absorbent material capable of being easily cleaned.

• The building manager will monitor bins and adjust collection frequencies as required

• Any infectious or potentially infectious waste (as defined by EPA) will be placed in containers colour coded yellow for infectious wastes and orange for potentially infectious wastes. Any prescribed wastes which leave the premises will be disposed of in accordance with Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) requirements to the satisfaction of the Responsible Authority.

• The operator of the proposed development shall source and enter into a service agreement for waste collection services. The operator will be responsible for all payments and costs associated with the waste collection service provided by the collection contractor;

• Litter management: a daily walk-through of the basement car parks will form part of the care takers responsibility to ensure no litter is present. In addition to this there will be fixed litter bins in outdoor areas.

• The bin store will include a bin washing facility consisting of a hot and cold water supply through a centralised mixing valve with hose cock and sewer connected drain.

• As a private waste collection is proposed, the hours during which waste and recycling is collected will be consistent with the Council’s Community Local Laws. These are as follows:

- 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday; and

- 9am to 8pm Sunday and public holidays

After-hour access will be provided to the contractor for tenancies if required.

8.1 Storage of medical waste Requirements for storage of medical waste:

• Contain medical waste in a manner that is not offensive and that minimises the threat to health, safety or the environment.

• Store all containers of medical waste in a secure location.

• Ensure all necessary equipment required to clean and disinfect the area in case of accidental spillage is easily available and accessible.

• Treat any waste mixed with medical waste, as medical waste.

• Sharps such as needles, syringes with needles and surgical instruments are to be handled as follows:

• The disposal of sharps should not incorporate cutting, bending or any other manipulation that could generate aerosols or splatter contaminated fluids.

Place sharps into a suitable container that:

• Is puncture-resistant, leak-proof, shatter-proof and able to withstand heavy handling

• Displays the universal biohazard label and has a label clearly indicating the nature of the contents

• Has an opening which is accessible, safe to use, and designed so that it is obvious when the container is full

• Is sealed when full or ready for disposal

• Can be handled without danger of the contents spilling or falling out.

• Place all medical waste other than sharps in clearly labelled heavy duty yellow plastic bags or wet strength paper bags. Bags intended for domestic use are unsuitable for this waste.
